BACKGROUND:Sockops are a species of sock-shaped plant which certain tribes of Goombas originally made shoes from. However, over time, a group of Sockop plants in the Dimble Woods of the Mushroom Kingdom evolved and became sentient, also gaining eyes, feet, and the ability to speak. They enjoy "chugging" things such as small animals, bugs, and even blocks. They still live in the Dimble Wood to this day.
